Which behaviors are mobbing behaviors? Before moving on to mobbing behaviors, it would be more appropriate to talk about behavior groups. I shared the grouping that I think is the clearest and most obvious: “behaviors aimed at affecting the self-display and communication formation” such as preventing the employee from expressing themselves and communicating “attacks on social relations” such as acting as if they don’t exist, not talking, leaving the person alone in a social environment “attacks on reputation” such as gossiping, mocking, talking behind their back “attacks on the person’s quality of life and professional status” such as taking away tasks, giving tasks that are impossible to finish or below their abilities “direct attacks on the person’s health” such as physical violence and sexual harassment (Leymann) In the study conducted by my dear professors Pınar Tınaz, Sibel Gök and Işıl Karatuna to determine the rate and types of mobbing in our country, we see 4 behavioral groups: work-related behaviors reputation-damaging behaviors exclusionary behaviors verbal-written-visual attacks As for behavioral examples, I have listed the most common behaviors below: holding the person responsible for mistakes made criticizing their abilities making them obey on contradictory issues threats that they may lose their job making them do work by shouting constantly criticizing disturbing them by asking unnecessary questions slandering hiding information about work outdated information giving gossip leaving alone making inappropriate jokes being constantly humiliated in front of coworkers being given tasks outside of the scope of duty What is the mobbing process like? Mobbing can start with a conflict or a triggering event. Such as disagreeing in a meeting, getting an early promotion, conflict of goals. It can also start without a conflict or an event. The process usually starts with negative behaviors such as humiliating, degrading comments, gossiping, and talking behind the back of the targeted person. Health problems start in the victim when these behaviors continue, increase or intensify. We can observe that the victim feels psychologically isolated and tends not to want to talk to others. In the final stage, the victim may feel completely isolated and even suggestions may be made for him/her to find a job. In general, we observe situations in which violence continues to increase, the victim is negatively affected, and leaving the job is on the agenda.
